The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome
In 2003 The New Press published Parenti's The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome.
PW said:
Parenti... narrates a provocative history of the late republic in Rome (100–33 B.C.) to demonstrate that Caesar's death was the culmination of growing class conflict, economic disparity and political corruption.
Kirkus Reviews wrote:
"Populist historian Parenti... views ancient Rome’s most famous assassination not as a tyrannicide but as a sanguinary scene in the never-ending drama of class warfare. ... revisionist history at its most provocative."
